Call in Gay Day
skinnydipinacidWednesday December 10th, 2008 (that's tomorrow).
I wonder how many straights will take advantage of this holiday.
"Yes. Uh huh. Yes. I know I'm married, but today I'm gay as can be. See ya' Thursday."

Well we'll all be watching to see which of our editors isn't around tomorrow. We'll excuse Fornax as he seems to call in gay everyday, so maybe in his case the trend doesn't hold true.
Well, I wasn't going to say anything but lately I've been having these latent tendencies, perhaps some time off would help me work through theeths ithshews.
I wouldn't worry, unless you are developing an understanding of what color periwinkle actually is. Real men can only differentiate between the 8 basic Crayola colors.
You mean peach is just a fruit?
And a Georgia girl. Real men appreciate them, too.
Let's try an expiriment. Since bigots say gays aren't born that way, they 'choose' to be gay - tomorrow, everyone just 'choose' to be attracted to men. At least you will get the day off. Let's see if it works?
I think the idea is very sweet.
thooper thweet
Wouldn't everyone who tried an "expiriment" end up dead?
I would rather work.
kwAwk,
Off topic: Did you ever get your browser to allow you to edit? Or have you upgraded to IE7? Let me know.
Yeah. I got a new home computer with internet and everything.... :)
kwAwk,
Okay good, I'll be getting in touch with you in a couple days. Does the email account associated with your id here still work?
As for 'Calling in Gay' idea, it seems to be me that this would send a different point across than the one intended. Employers hire people to perform a job, not to make political statements.
Red, yellow, blue, green, orange, purple/brown, black and white? Looks like I'll be working tomorrow. Thanx RB, ishew resolved. Man, is that a load off.
A couple of things here. TJ named 9 colors, does that make him a leaner?
The Georgia Peach was Ty Cobb, definitely not lady like.
Yeah, Zoy my email works but I don't check it often so give me a heads up when you need me to look at it.
I feel sorry for the people who don't have to work tomorrow and were just wanting to go get a drink on their day off. They don't deserve that kind of speculation;o)
Sorry, Boss, but I can't work today because I'm gay. Yeah, I'm sure that's the message they want to send.
Also, nice on substituting the word "gay" where "sick" normally would be. I wonder if the originators thought this through first.
If I had employees who tried a stunt like this, I'd fire them on the spot. Not for saying they're gay, but for shirking work to make a stupid political statement.
I fired a guy for lying about being sick and then going to a local comedy club. I hire people to do a job. It's a deal that we shake on; they work a 40 hour week, and I pay them an agreed-upon amount for doing that. I also pay for legitimate sick days off, bereavement time, vacations, and holidays, and I grant unpaid time off for personal errands whenever possible.
I do not pay people who don't have enough self-respect to honor the deal we shook on, and I do not pay liars and cheats.
I'm wondering if Redbeard understands that perhaps his employees need to take a day off now and again just to get away from the Boss?
for the record... I'm at work today... in case any of you were wondering about me.
Cute. kwAwk. If the reason they need to get away from me is the fact that I do not tolerate liars and cheats, then a permanent "get away" will be arranged.
Skinny, you need to call in sick so you can fool around here more.
